We commemorate the life and work of director Isao Takahata, the co-founder of Studio Ghibli, who died on 5 April this year, with this 30th anniversary screening of his most famous work. Set in Japan at the tail end of the Second World War, the film follows teenager Seita and his younger sister Setsuko, struggling to survive after their mother dies in the firebombing of Kobe. A harrowing depiction of the tragedy of war, this classic anime is also a moving tale of suffering and loss.
